The Husbands, Chandler Baker – quotes and comments
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Harper Ford on menopause and wellness scams
Looking for humorous fiction, I’ve just read Harper Ford’s Hot (not bothered) and Live, Laugh, and Leave Me Alone.

They Never Learn, Layne Fargo – quotes and comments
Great read! Some quotes and comments …
“He tosses the cap onto the floor.” p2
As soon as he takes a bottle from the garage fridge and tosses the cap onto the floor, I hated him. Is he going to pick up the cap later? Clean up after himself? Don’t think so. …

https://theequitablehome.substack.com/p/choking-during-sex-went-from-rare
“T]elling a young man he might give a girl a brain injury was not sufficient reason for him to stop, but telling him it might land him in court was.”
